Apparently there are very few band 5 and 6 tickets as well so most paying £80+. The lack of junior discount is poor as well. Their own fault if their next generation of fans look elsewhere. |

Good point. I'm thinking they must have loads of members with just one home game though and are trying to protect that income.
Sadly a lot of Premier League sides like the more casual fan as they increase matchday merchandise revenue. Mates a Spurs fan and he says if you go into their shop on a match day it's full of Son fans from South Korea spending obscene amounts of money.
We've definitely not reached that point yet but I'm wary of what may happen as with the current spending rules, clubs have little choice but to put income over loyalty. |

Am a bit disappointed you only needed to have attended one home game last season as a member to qualify for the ballot.
If definitely favours the day trippers who just did the Huddersfield game over those that went more frequently. |

That would have been a lovely away game. Great place and great stadium. It's a very different pre season to seasons gone by where it would be Cambridge and Colchester with one mid-tier team for the final game! |

Kane clearly wasn't fully fit and we also didn't play a system which suited him. He's always been better playing with players who want to get in behind like Rashford did for many years from the left.
Given pace isn't a huge part of his game he's probably still got another 2-3 tournaments in him providing we actually play to his strengths. |

Saw him at Center Parcs a couple of months ago - I bottled asking him where he might be off to though. Big fan of the Sports Cafe. |

Reply | Good luck Philogene
at 16:47 12 Jul 2024
Might have read it wrong but the way Sky have written the update in their Transfer Centre it sounds like he was contractually obliged to move to them after they matched our bid.
"Talks are ongoing to find a solution to the current stalemate surrounding Hull's Jaden Philogene.
Aston Villa have triggered a clause that allows them to match the agreements reached by Ipswich and Everton.
As part of the agreement in which he left Villa for Hull last year, a pre-contract agreement was signed by the player if Villa matched a bid.
However, Philogene is thought to want to head where he is going to play the most games for the next part of his development.
It means Ipswich are in a strong position, having reassured him he will be one of their first choices in attack.
However, Villa have the pre-contract agreement already signed by the player.
Talks are ongoing about a solution." |

Because I was looking at total votes rather than percentage and the Lib Dems were closest to Reform. But yes you could also make that point with Labour.
I think it's clear no matter what party you align with this system has it's flaws. Then again I'm sure the alternatives also have faults. For me personally, I would like a system where the MP thinks about their local constituents rather than just blindly following the whip. |

I've not been newly swayed as such. Just making the comment after looking at the most recent set of data as it looks once again that the current system is not fit for purpose.
A newer system might actually result in more people ending up with a decent local MP who fights for their needs rather than a career politician. I know people have varied views on Corbyn however he is one MP who fights tooth and nail for his constituents. |

Road tax changing from 1st April as well. Eventually they'll have the fuel duty hole to plug - not sure how they'll go about that given how widely electricity is used. |

What made it even more remarkable was Kimber's previous record. Before today he was averaging 24 with the bat with a highest of 104 and a total of 13 career 6s! |

I imagine there will be a few games that might be accessible given the extortionate pricing at some grounds. Leicester's matchday price rises are eye-watering. I really hope we don't follow suit. |

Reply | VAT on Private School
at 15:52 13 Jun 2024
This policy will hurt the parents who scrimp and save to get their kids into private school and won't effect the higher earners.
Unless more opportunities are given to state school kids this policy will effectively have the same effect as FFP by maintaining the status quo and punishing those trying to go up a level in society.
Personally I've no problem with private schools being exempt from VAT as they are non profits. If they were privately owned it would be a completely different story. |

I wonder what sort of figures they've run. 20% on £15k is £3k however the funding for a state primary pupil is over £4.5k and a secondary pupil nearly £6k so if they end up in a mass migration scenario they may not actually raise a large net sum via this policy. |
